There are also nerve fibers that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to the various organs.

Smaller cell bodies are likely to conduct impulses more slowly, Dr. Galaburda said.

The corticospinal tract conducts impulses from the brain to the spinal cord.

Injured heart tissue conducts electrical impulses more slowly than normal heart tissue.

The fibres conduct impulses of pain and temperature.

The aim is for the cells to morph into heart tissue with the ability to conduct electrical impulses to restore a more normal heartbeat.

Nervous tissue is specialized to react to stimuli and to conduct impulses to various organs in the body which bring about a response to the stimulus.

Descending and ascending tracts will generally be cut off during cerebrovascular disease, which conduct impulses down from the cord of the brain.

This damaged region will conduct impulses more slowly, resulting in irregular rhythms.

Gap junctions are protein channels that are responsible for conducting electrical impulses between cells in the heart to maintain normal rhythm.
